Sport and Exercise Science - Vocational (equivalent to 2 A-Levels)

Course summary

BTEC offers students the opportunity to achieve A-Level equivalent qualifications that are work-related and vocational. The principle difference between A-Level and BTEC is the method of assessment. Assessment is done through a range of presentations, case studies, practical tasks, written assignments and external assessment. For each assessment, you will be graded a Pass, Merit or Distinction. Students continually know where they are and what they need to do to improve their grade. Much of the content is similar to the A-Level in PE. Sport and Exercise Science is a theory-based course and although some aspects of the course can be taught in a practical way, students should be prepared to be classroom-based for most of their lessons. The staff will endeavour to vary the teaching style used and allow for opportunities to learn actively whenever possible.
